PHONY ‘SCRIPTOfficer Michelle Caron reported she was dispatched to the Walgreen’s pharmacy at 1560 Warwick Ave. around 10 p.m. on July 18 for an attempt to obtain oxycodone with a phony prescription. Dispatch told her the woman in question was wearing a black sleeveless dress and had blonde hair. Caron said she found the woman waiting in the pharmacy section and questioned her.

The pharmacist told Caron that she knew immediately that the prescription submitted at the window was bogus and called the doctor named on it. She said the answering service responded and said there had been several calls from pharmacists that evening about prescriptions from the doctor but she did not know if they were from a stolen prescription pad but had been suspected of being fakes by several callers. Caron said she arrested Lorrie C. Folco, 31, of 61 Zone St. in Providence and charged her with false representation to acquire a controlled substance and held her for the bail commissioner. She said she also found oxycodone and amphetamine pills on Folco.
